Consider it is like having an attorney speaking for you in a court case the chamber of the judge.
So that is how I treat a person who has gone home to God, they are there to pray to the King of Kings at His throne.
I do not agree with your posting.
You don’t agree with what scripture says? How telling!
Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say:
“Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread, 4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.”
5 And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’?
8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs. 9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Where this teaching came from that God the Father isn't sufficient to answer our prayers is beyond me. Well, actually, not. It's from the pit.
Jesus PROMISED us that God the Father would hear and answer our prayers and beyond what we expect.
What a spit in the face of God to pray to others as if He would not hear us and answer us Himself.
Do you 'agree' with scripture?
